The second step is to request information pack from the college/university you'll apply in. You will need to e-mail, fax, phone or mail them your request. Remember: your request should be short, contains enough information including the information you want and how they can contact you. The request should be directed to Admission Office, not the President or Director of Admission or so. Because your request won't earn you the scholarship or admission chance, therefore you shouldn't waste time in typing a beautiful letter with persuasive words, instead, just type a short e-mail indicating your interest and the request. This should be enough and satisfy both sides.

After you have received the information pack, usually via mailing, make sure you read it very carefully to get out such info: requirements, international students, required standardized tests (SAT/ACT/TOEFL...) and required minimum scores, financial aids opportunity (need-based or merit-based), deadlines, application requirements... In general, to pull out and remember as much info as you can.

Hey, don't forget this: if you can, turn your application within the Early Decision deadline. Don't know what Early Decision is? Contact me.

That's it for now.
